Un roman basé sur l'univers de City of Heroes aux US et au Canada
FixB le 18/10/2005
Le premier roman reprenant le background de City of Heroes vient de paraître aux Etats-Unis et au Canada. Ce roman, The Web of Arachnos décrit l'histoire de Paragorn City des années 30 en relatant les aventures de son premier Super Héros : Statesman, et du conflit qui l'oppose au Super Vilain Lord Recluse.
Personnellement, je ne connais pas l'auteur : R. Weinberg, mais il a apparemment écrit plusieurs bouquins/comics sur les super héros... De toute manière, la disponibilité en France n'est pas à définie (ni prévue ?).

Web of Arachnos, first City of Heroes novel, now available!
Monday, October 17, 2005
We are thrilled to announce that the first City of Heroes novel, The Web of Arachnos, is on store shelves now and available for your reading pleasure!
The Web of Arachnos tells the story of Paragon City’s iconic hero Statesman, and his archnemesis, Lord Recluse, the leader of Arachnos.
It explores their humble origins and charts the depths of their animosity. Set in the 1930s, it also details the founding of the Freedom Phalanx and describes the shadowy beginnings of some of Paragon City’s first villain groups.
The once glistening metropolis of Paragon City is broken by the Great Depression and rotted through with corruption. Two men will fight over its destiny, but the battle cannot be won by Statesman alone. For justice to triumph, Paragon will have to become a city of heroes…
The Web of Arachnos was written by Robert Weinberg, with cover art by George Pérez. It retails for $6.99 US/9.99 CAN CAN – track down a copy at your local bookstore today, hero!

GAMES QUARTERLY #5 (Spring 2005) was released two months ago, but I finally looked inside of it the other day. I was surprised to see the full and complete cover of CITY OF HEROES: WEB OF ARACHNOS #1.
The novels are written by Robert Weinberg.
The two-page article on City of Heroes is called "The City that Never Sleeps".
If you are a hardcore Pérez collector and wants a copy of this magazine, they have three copies at my comic store. You can send me the cover price $3.95, plus postage (another $1.50).

I am currently inking the incredible Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez on a project written by Phil Jimenez, who is also the cover penciler, with me inking Phil. Unfortunately, beyond that, I'm not at liberty to reveal what the project is so I've been calling it "The EZ Company Project" since all three creators share the same last two letters in our family names. DC Comics should be making an announcement relatively soon and it will be a relief to finally be able to talk about it openly.
Contrary to solicitations I have indeed drawn the cover for FALLEN ANGELS #20. Due to a mix-up in the scheduling it initially appeared that I couldn't do the cover, so the regular team was told to go ahead and draw the cover. When Peter David found out about that he reminded the editor that the deadlines had been pushed back and even though the book had been solicited with another cover, Peter figured few would be bummed out to find that there was a Pérez cover after all.
I have also drawn a cover for a Marvel Visionaries book spotlighting my 1970's run on FANTASTIC FOUR. Tom Smith colored that piece and, as usual, did a wonderful job.
I am currently drawing a variant cover for Top Cow's CITY OF HEROES #1 and will be drawing the cover for a CITY OF HEROES novel called "Web of Arachnos". This should be the first of three covers for a series of CoH novels. And since I just mentioned Top Cow, I should also announce that I will be participating in a special 10th Anniversary edition of WITCHBLADE. I will be drawing three pages written by Ron Marz. And as I draw those pages I will be filmed by a video crew for TwoMorrows' DVD companion to its MODERN MASTERS book series.
There have been other offers, including some covers for Dynamic Forces' RED SONYA and ARMY OF DARKNESS. I also will be providing a cover for DF's STORYTELLER, yet another retrospective on my career. (I am definitely being over-exposed). A cover for ForceWerks' B.A.B.E. FORCE is also on my schedule. There have been other one-shots I've been offered that I'm not yet free to discuss, or yet to accept, but after "The EZ Company Project" I will be primarily focusing my attention on completing GAMES: THE TITANS GRAPHIC NOVEL. Inker Mike Perkins has already started on some pages and Tom Smith has 30 pages ready to start so it's up to me to get busy so that Marv Wolfman can start dialoguing the first half of the book.
As for conventions this year, here's my schedule for 2005 so far.
February 25-27: Mega Con in Orlando, FL.
March 18-20: Wizard World Los Angeles in Long Beach, CA
April 22-24: Pittsburgh Comicon in Monroeville, PA (I even provided the T-Shirt art)
July 14-17: Comic-Con International in San Diego, CA
September 13-17: Comic Book Festival in Avilés, Spain
Those are the confirmed shows. There is a possibility of more, but I'm trying to limit my time away from the drawing board this year.

CITY OF HEROES (Game) Interview
Tuesday, March 09, 2004 12:26:08 PM
(excerpt)
There are a wealth of comic books around which must have been a major
source of ideas for the game. Are these also where some of the ideas
for the CoH story arcs will draw inspiration from? Are there any
writers, stories or comic books in particular which you would cite as
favourites?
Jack Emmert (lead designer): My personal inspirations have been George
Perez and Marv Wolfman's New Teen Titans, and John Byrne and Chris
Clairemont's Uncanny X-Men. I think that these comics were the first
to take into consideration the adult reader. Instead of being perfect,
heroes were portrayed as regular, normal people with abnormal powers.
